The call to not despair in the face of obstacles to innovation should be heeded.

I am in the criminal justice field and years ago came across an observation that applies to an almost a universal degree.

The observation came from Dr. Charles Friel of Sam Houston State University. It goes along the lines that technology is not the limiting factor on progress, but it is political forces that impede us. None the less we still manage to move forward.

It was true then, it is true now.
